tOAofarcf With approximately 72 copies of “The Bear Facts” under their belts, excellence was an expected standard of quality. Over the past three years the newspaper staff had achieved the following awards: The International First Place Award — Newspaper of Substantial Achievements, First place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Fairfax County Public Schools Certificate of Accomplishment, The Fairfax County Public Schools Certificate of Excellence, and a first place in the Virginia High School League. This impressive record kept their standards high. “The Bear Facts” was the most frequently published school newspaper in Fairfax County, publishing a minimum of 22 issues for the 75-76 school year. Two weeks before school started, the newspaper staff had begun work on the first issue of “The Bear Facts.” On September 19, it was ready to be distributed, despite the lack of mailing labels for mailing the papers home. The future for the “Bear Facts” held a trip to New York for the Columbia Scholastic Press Association convention in March which they attend each year in an attempt to maintain their standard of excellence.

While presenting her piece, Lynn Tipton looks to Miss Cale for approval and response. Loud and clear, emotionally and fervently, the words of various types of literature can be heard from the members of the Forensics Club. This club was actually a team of students striving for team awards as well as individual recognition. Forensics was an interpretation of written works — including poetry, prose, dramatic interpretations of selections from plays, writing and delivering original speeches, and delivering original extemporaneous or impromptu speeches. The objective of this club was to give students confidence in speaking in front of an audience and practice in interpreting literature. The members held meetings once a week for coaching by the sponsor and selection of materials. They were involved in the Northern Virginia Speech League meets which were held once a month. The participation consisted of twelve to fifteen schools. During February and March the students competed in the District and Regional Forensic meets and then went on, in March, to the Virginia High School League State Forensics meet.
